Our thoughts and condolences are with the Royal Family following the sad news of the death of His Royal Highness Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. Many of our members were inspired to enjoy the outdoors through the DofE Award. The picture shows members meeting the Duke in 1979. pic.twitter.com/SSTC30CcPB

1/2 From all of us at BMRT we would just like to thank every one of you that donated to us this weekend. It was a hard decision for us not to do our usual Easter meet and great around Rivington but for the safety of our team members, we decided against it. pic.twitter.com/xkNOo8equX

1/ Today is usually a busy and important day for the team. With so many people visiting the Rivington area in particular, we would usually have our displays set up around the area to help educate people about outdoor safety. pic.twitter.com/0iKNZaqWU1

❓ Did you know that moorland and wildfires can be started in a number of ways? Sadly, many are started deliberately, however, some can break out by people being careless with barbecues, campfires or not disposing of cigarettes properly 🔥 pic.twitter.com/WDHdEHFcXA

Visit to our Base / HQ by John and Jack Sunter.
Late this morning the team welcomed two guests to our Ladybridge Hall Base / HQ, John and Jack Sunter respectively father and son, who were visiting to view the dedication plaque to the memory of their son and brother Tom Sunter, who tragically died in a kayaking accident in late 2005 in Southern Scotland.
Following Toms tragic accident, numerous donations in his memory were made to the team, which eventually totalled £2,510.00, enabling the team, alongside a grant from the Provincial Insurance Company Trust for Bolton, to purchase in January 2007 an Aireshelta from the Aire Group Limited. This being an air inflated shelter which is used within the team as a messing / briefing facility and a bad weather shelter for team members ’ in the field.’
Met by our Deputy Team Leader Geoff Seddon, John (from Worsley) and his son Jack, were shown their son and brother Toms’ dedication plaque which is on display at our Ladybridge Hall base / HQ, they were then given a tour of our Base / HQ, where team members were present doing some maintenance.
The team members present including Geoff Seddon, John Parish, Neil Warburton, Matthew Hailwood, Steve Nelson and former team member Mark Parry, present kindly helping the others, then erected the ’ Aireshelta ’ air inflated shelter tent on behalf of John and Jack to show them what the donations in Toms’ memory had purchased.
The team extends its thoughts to the Sunter family at this difficult time of year for them regards the loss of their son and brother Tom.
